The corner gives the wooden martial arts master, whose martial arts are equivalent to a harem.

Looking at the pavilion in front of him, he saw that it was nestled against the mountain and by the water, blending into the garden landscape, with flowers, birds, insects and fish naturally creating a charming scene.

The thirteen-story pavilion has a pyramidal roof at the top, covered with blue tiles and decorated with components such as mythical beasts and hanging beasts.

He walked forward, pushed open the door, and saw rows of bookshelves, filled with all sorts of books, which must have been regularly cleaned, so they were spotless.

Then he pushed the wind out with both palms and closed the door with a light touch.

He then slowly let out a long sigh and sat cross-legged.

I held on just now to guard against potential enemies, but now that we've arrived at this Hidden Martial Pavilion and no one has attacked us, it's highly likely that there really isn't anyone capable of fighting us.

After relaxing a bit, he raised his hand and with a flick of his wrist, his strength seemed to draw a book into his hand like a dragon sucking water.

"I believe I can memorize all the martial arts manuals in this building using quantum speed reading."

The book title was written as "Entangling Silk Force," and then Gu Chuanhen used his strength to force out a breeze that made the pages turn.

This turning sounded like flipping a stack of neatly bundled hundred-yuan bills with your thumb, producing a soothing and pleasant noise.

Quantum speed reading transforms into its own martial arts sustenance amidst the "whoosh" sound.

Furthermore, he was multitasking.

"This fight was even more exhausting than the one with Nalan Yuanshu last time, but thankfully it's finally over. Now I can recover my health and mana, and then use my spare time to sort through Hong Yexuan's memories."

After finishing reading a book on "Silk Reeling Technique," I put my mind to practice it. Then, I gently put the book back on the shelf and took out several other books to read at the same time.

Although his memories were not very complete, they were more complete than those of Nalan Yuanshu.

Hong Yexuan's memories rolled by like a movie, fast-forwarding through unnecessary plot points and only selecting those related to martial arts.

He had a thorough understanding of the entire Hung Kuen martial arts system, including its training techniques, boxing formations, medicinal wine preparations, nourishing diets, and formulas for pills and other martial arts.

Then there's his extraordinary martial arts skills.

The first great martial arts technique is called "Martial Armor," but this technique has a technical origin.

"The Spirit Sword Forging Technique of the Body-Slaying Sword Sect?" Gu Chuanhen delved into his memories and finally figured out the method of forging this spirit sword.

Those who join this sword sect must possess extraordinary mental fortitude, unwavering perseverance, and, most importantly, the ability to endure physical pain.

For the first three years of learning martial arts, he practiced swordsmanship, blacksmithing, and sword forging. He then used various external training techniques and various medicinal wines to rub on his arm. Later, he used medicinal diet pills to reduce his eating and resting time, striving to make his arm as hard as steel within three years.

Three years later, he would go to the back mountain of the sect, put that arm into the sword furnace, fill it with various metals, and finally cut off the arm. Then he would splash his own blood from the severed arm as a blood sacrifice to the sword embryo.

After the bleeding is stopped, the sword blank is still heated by burning, and then other materials are added and melted until it is taken out and then forged into a sword. In this way, after the spirit sword of the Body-Slaying Sword Sect is made, it can communicate with the sword master's mind.

"Oh, so that's the principle behind this forging technique. Although an arm is severed to serve as the sword blank, the meridians in the arm have become the meridians of the sword blank. With the help of materials and forging, the meridians in the sword blank are separated from the original meridians of the arm and become a complete sword meridian."

However, since the sword lineage originates from the meridians of the human body, practicing swordsmanship is a kind of resonance between one's own magnetic field, which can make the person and the sword become one, as easy as using an arm, and allow the sword to reach the same indestructible state as the martial artist, and even forge a new path.

Furthermore, because the Body-Slaying Spirit Sword belongs to its wielder, one's mental and spiritual will can be honed into the sword and transformed into sword intent. Due to the interaction between its own magnetic field and the magnetic field of heaven and earth, coupled with the tempering of mental and spiritual will...

This is a kind of constant sword practice, a kind of sword forging, and it makes it easier for ordinary martial artists to master the great supernatural powers of this world. However, this supernatural power is a sword-based supernatural power.

The divine sword possesses a spirit and can become a celestial sword.

Brilliant idea, very good indeed.

The Great Sage clicked his tongue in amazement, adding more words of praise.

Bajiquan was playing horseback riding with Gu Jieyi, which meant letting Gu Jieyi ride on her neck.

After hearing what Da Sheng Pi Gua said, Bajiquan also glanced into Hong Yexuan's memory.

"I see. Hong Yexuan's Martial Armor Great Divine Power is an upgrade and sublimation based on this forging technique. It has been transformed from a part into a whole, and it does not require sacrificing himself. He can forge the Martial Armor using other people's bodies."

"Mom (lou5 mou5), don't get distracted by what Dasheng said to Mom."

Gu Jie smiled and gave his two mothers different names.

"Delete Lou Mou? Why am I the old mother and you are the mother?"

Dissatisfied, Bajiquan jumped high and grabbed Gu Jieyi's calf, swinging it around like a nunchaku.

"Hehe, hahaha!"

The little girl's silvery laughter was like a barbell that required a jack to lift.

"That's because I'm closest to you, Mom. I call you 'Mom' because I love you, hehehehe—"

Gu Jieyi smiled adorably.

My heart melted at the sight of Bajiquan.

"Good girl! I really like your mouth!"

She laughed maniacally, and the ancient sword she danced with turned into afterimages, as if draping her in a white wedding dress formed from her daughter.

The Great Sage Splitting the Blow looked puzzled: "Although, but... isn't this how you raise a child?"

"Then you lead." Bajiquan showed no provocation, but looked at Dasheng Pigua with a meaningful smile.

With a nonchalant smile, the Great Sage descended to the mortal realm: "Come on then."

He took Gu Jieyi in one swift motion.

"Huh? This feeling?" Da Sheng Pi Gua's eyes lit up.

She used the ancient technique of the stick to demonstrate her skills.

Although Gu Jieyi was just a short loli, he was so powerful that he seemed to have transformed into a heaven-turning stick that was about to overturn the world.

"Hehehe, Mommy, your hands are so soft, hehehe." "Do you like it? My good daughter." "Of course I like it, hahaha—" "Then Mommy, show me a few more staff techniques." "Okay!"

"See, I told you so, this kid has a really good feel for things." Bajiquan chuckled as he watched the parent-child interaction.

"You're right," Da Sheng Pi Gua agreed.

It's truly remarkable that these two can get along so harmoniously.

Perhaps it's because she's come to terms with Bajiquan (a style of Chinese martial arts) and has tempered her temper after becoming a mother.

Gu Chuan couldn't bear to watch and couldn't help but ask, "Is this how you raise a child?"

Considering the composition of this family, when danger is imminent, this family is a more dangerous entity to the "source of danger," but when there is no danger, each member of this family can be a source of danger.

"This child is destined to be 'someone else's child,' so it's understandable to raise him this way."

Bajiquan is very serious.

"You're right." The Great Sage Splitting Noodles smiled as he twirled his staff.

"Hmm, Dad, aren't you going to read anymore? Then Mom and Mommy are here. I'm going to go play with Dad's teeth."

"Good girl, you may go now."

"be safe."

They actually told her to be careful? Then she's really safe.

Thus, Gu Jieyi took human form.

"Dad, look at me."

As Gu Chuanhen was reading a book, he looked up and saw his daughter, who was taller than him.

Gu Jieyi is about 1.9 meters tall, with a body proportion that is rare in the world: a nine-head figure. Even supermodels would feel inferior standing in front of her. Her muscles are bulging and full but not bloated. Although they are hidden under her clothes, the lines outlined by her muscles during movement can still show their contours.

The girl finished her outfit in a black, fitted style, looking radiant. Her silver-white hair was tied into a large braid and hung down her back, with a tuft of hair protruding from her widow's peak, resembling a cowlick, curved in an arc, neither too long nor too short.

Although her figure appeared to be that of an adult, her baby face was as cheerful as a little girl in a New Year's painting, with a touch of baby fat that resembled a delicately carved jade sculpture.

Her features haven't fully developed yet, but she bears a striking resemblance to Song Zuer when she played the young Nezha.

Is this flounder eight years old? Are you kidding me? And a flounder with a "short" little girl? Are you kidding me?

Gu Chuan choked on his words.

Gu Jie instantly appeared behind Gu Chuanhen, gently patting his back and asking with concern, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Now listen carefully, and the child's voice sounds somewhat like Teacher Shanxin's.

Louis Koo's expression was complicated, and he started spouting nonsense.

"I'm just amazed that you've grown so much, you're even taller than me now."

He looked just like a sixteen-year-old father, a little over 1.7 meters tall, lamenting the relentless passage of time and how life had bent his back.

"Oh dear, this is just how I am. Don't be discouraged, Dad. Even if you don't grow tall, you're still my dad."

Gu Jieyi gently patted Gu Chuanhen's shoulder, smiling as if he had received a back massage voucher.

As the saying goes, a child doesn't despise his mother for being ugly, and a dog doesn't despise his home for being poor. Gu Jieyi didn't think that Gu Chuan's hatred of being short was a loss of face.

"I'm really going to be a dad now?" Gu Chuanhen thought strangely. "No, this should mean I'll have to skip a decade or two of hard work in my life, right? After all, this kid doesn't need to be raised at all; he just grows up on his own. Oh no, no, well, these are really strange and complicated feelings."

"I'm a dad now? But this isn't what I expected. Shouldn't becoming a dad only count as when you see your child as a baby? Like, a wrinkled little baby, the kind that looks kind of ugly, but 'qiu' and suddenly you've stuffed this big girl into my head? This... is this right?"

If you consider life as a road, then getting married and having children can be considered entering a new stage of life.

At the same age, some people have already become parents, some drink so much that their parents don't recognize them, and some still have restrictions imposed by their parents. Could this be considered a stagnation in one's life stage?

Similarly, at the same age, some people don't necessarily grow up even after becoming parents. In some cases, it's two older children raising a younger one. And those who don't get married also have the fear of not being able to provide a good living environment for their children. I don't know if this can be considered a sign of maturity, but in the end, everyone is different. The reasons may vary, but the reality remains the same.

Ah, am I overthinking things?

Actually, my main question is: Am I really ready to be a father?

Although Jieyi is not a genetic successor, she is the culmination of my martial arts, and she is indeed my daughter. But—but can I really teach her well? What if I can't teach her well?

Ugh, this is so annoying.

The ancients said they harbored deep resentment.

He didn't know how to solve such life problems. In fact, he even felt a little unreal about the fact that he had a "daughter in a certain sense".

I can't figure it out anyway, so I'm not going to think about it anymore.

The only thing we can do now is take it one step at a time and do our best to teach this child well.

"But, my daughter, how did you come to be human? And how did you come to have a physical form?"

Gu Chuanhen asked in confusion.

That's because a full 100% affinity level allows one to materialize, but their strength is limited by the strength of the world they inhabit.

In this world, Gu Jieyi can currently utilize about 60% of his power, but if he were to return to the main world, he would have little impact on reality.

In the main world, martial arts techniques that manifest when the affinity level is full (100%) can only be seen by you and can only be fed to you. In short, only you can give them 'realism'.

Well, you could describe it as looking like a ghost.

To be seen by everyone and to influence reality, one must encounter a spiritual tide or some other special circumstances.

Oh, and let me digress a bit.

While this world is strong enough, let the children play in it more. Although it's about martial arts, even when they transform into humans, they still need 'social interaction'.

Humans are social animals, aren't they?

"That's what Ga La said directly. But he also gave some subtle hints."

Gu Chuanhen glanced at Gu Jieyi, his eyes flickering, his thoughts unreadable, but he seemed to be "taking advice."

In fact, he did have that idea.

Gu Jieyi didn't hide anything: "If you want to come out, then come out. This is my true form, but..."

She paused, looked around, and said.

"However, I can only unleash my full fighting power inside your body, Dad. Once I come out, I feel like I'm weakened by 40%, and even my 'Intercepting Dao' technique has been weakened. It seems that it's still more comfortable inside your body, Dad."

"At least within your body, Dad, the Intercepting Path can function at its full potential, and that way you'll be safe."

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Chuanhen with a smile. However, there was a hint of indescribable disappointment in that smile.

"I think I'll go back into your body, Dad. I'm still not used to being out here..."

She seemed to sense Gu Chuanhen's troubled thoughts and, being considerate and empathetic, even went so far as to make excuses to help him calm down.

However, before Gu Jieyi could finish speaking these intimate words, Gu Chuanhen shook his head and shouted loudly.

"No!!! This world allows you to have fun without restraint!!! But you can't be a homebody like your aunt Gu Qiongqiu!!!"

Gu Jie tilted his head slightly, looking utterly confused: "Huh? But Dad, weren't you upset because of me? I'll go back and give you some peace and quiet."

She was telling the truth.

Gu Chuanhen jumped up and patted Gu Jieyi's head.

Then he spoke earnestly.

"Jieyi, although this is my first time being a father and I don't know how to be one, I still hope you can be happy and joyful."

So don't let your father's thoughts make you feel bad. You can stay outside as long as you want.

Besides, Dad isn't upset because of you; Dad is just upset because he doesn't know how to be a good father.

The problem is that there are no references, which is why I'm so upset.

Gu Jieyi looked at Gu Chuanhen and spoke the truth, her little mouth pouting like a cat's lips, and then picked up a martial arts classic.

"Then I'll read through all the martial arts manuals here with you, Dad." She smiled and waved the manuals, looking both cute and mischievous. "Let's see who can read them faster!"

"Okay." Gu Chuanhen gave an "OK" sign, and then began to read it "slowly" using quantum speed reading.

In fact, whether it's romantic love, family affection, or friendship, communication is always the most important quality.

Without communication and exchange, problems will inevitably create rifts that drive people further apart.

Even if a broken mirror is mended, there will still be cracks; if you don't speak up sooner, the person you want to tell them may never hear it again.

Therefore, it's essential to maintain normal communication.

By the way, Louis Koo, have I been a bit too talkative?

No, Gala, you're not that close to me. In some ways, you could be considered half a mentor to me. Gu Chuanhen thought to himself.

"So why should I worry about so many things? Jieyi and I are of one mind, and that's the best way to communicate. As long as we can communicate well, we can always find a solution to the problem."

As he thought this, the jumbled thoughts in his mind gradually came to a head.

—Ancient traditions and unseen private exchanges—

"Although he's not very skilled, he really wants to be a good father."

The Great Sage Splits the Curve, watching the parent-child interaction with satisfaction.

"It's just that he doesn't seem to know how to be a good lover, a good partner, or a good husband."

Bajiquan smiled and said, but his expression was not complicated.

Da Sheng Pi Gua looked at Bajiquan with a slight confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"Hmph, that's because his feelings for me aren't 'love,' and my feelings for him shouldn't be limited to 'love' either."

"Oh, I understand now." Da Sheng Pi Gua suddenly realized.

"You mean, the relationship between you is that of a couple who support each other through thick and thin on the path of martial arts, a relationship that includes friendship, love, and family, yet transcends these feelings."

The most important aspect of this relationship is the alignment of your values, and it's clear that your values ​​align.

So you two are actually in what modern people call "soulmates," right?

However, in the ancient legend of your "soulmate" relationship, the romantic aspect is very weak.

You know this part is weak, but you don't want to restrict it; you just want to wait for this weak part to mature so you can see what this "love" will ultimately look like.

The more I talk about the Great Sage Splitting the Hanging Jade, the more interesting it becomes.

"Although you've summarized quite a bit, you can say that." Bajiquan nodded slightly.

Then the Great Sage Splits the Curse and thought about it.

"What if Gu Chuanhen really falls in love with someone else in terms of 'love'? Wouldn't all your waiting have been for nothing?"

This seemingly divine and magical boxing style is like a gossipy psychologist giving Bajiquan a talk therapy session, or a preventative injection.

He was probably afraid that Gu Chuanhen would be badly beaten by Bajiquan, so he thought of intervening in his psychology in advance.

He warmed my tears.

However, Bajiquan's answer was unexpected by Dasheng Pigua.

Bajiquan simply smiled. She was white-haired, and her smile somewhat resembled that of Rei Ayanami.

"Bai Deng? There will never be another 'person' in this world who can be as one with him as we are. Even if there is, that person's relationship with Gu Chuanhen will be the same as ours, that of Daoist partners."

Since we are both Daoist partners, what do I have to fear?

Da Sheng Pi Gua stared at Bajiquan for a long time before speaking.

"If you were to become one with your three bodies, would this thought still hold true?"

Bajiquan remained silent.

The Great Sage Splitting the Hanging Knot did not pursue the matter further.

Hmm? This is a sign of a landmine being planted. You'll have to be careful and give a perfect answer when the time comes.
